How are applications assessed?

Your Community Support Manager will assess your application and make a decision based on:

• checking that the items/services are not supplied through statutory services
• meeting the DEBRA Community Support grants criteria
• a priority level of low, medium or high 
• current availability of charitable funds in the DEBRA Community Support grants budget

You can read more on the above criteria in the DEBRA Community Support Grants Policy

Notes:

• requests for larger sums are discussed and agreed with your community support area or regional manager and the Director of Healthcare, Membership and EB Community Support
• only support grants that have been authorised are given
• support grants cannot be given retrospectively
